When Compromise Is Foolish 

March 5, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - compromise, GES, Principles
I do not know who said it. But is it true? A good compromise is when both parties are dissatisfied. May I modify that? A good compromise is when both parties, and God, are satisfied. We should seek win-win-win solutions to impasses. But what about situations where to compromise would be to go against God’s

The Surgeon General Says… 

March 4, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - Bema, Eternal Rewards, Mark 2:17, Rom 6:23
I’m old enough to remember when smoking cigarettes was cool. All the beautiful actresses and handsome actors in movies and on TV smoked. It was considered both sexy and elegant. Many of my relatives smoked cigarettes and used other forms of tobacco. I recall commercials in which even doctors promoted certain brands of cigarettes. Some

Al Cincilea Evangheliu

March 3, 2025 by Kathryn Wright in Har Gratuit: Păstrează harul în centrul atenției
Cei mai mulți oameni știu despre cele patru Evanghelii: Matei, Marcu, Luca și Ioan. Dar știai că unii cercetători ai Bibliei numesc cartea lui Isaia Al Cincilea Evangheliu? Există mai multe motive pentru care a fost numită astfel. La fel ca Matei, Marcu, Luca și Ioan, cartea lui Isaia vorbește despre Hristos. Prorocul anunță prima

Brodawki na naszych bohaterach (Marka 14:71)

March 3, 2025 by Ken Yates in Jedynie Wiara, czyli darmowa łaska w centrum uwagi - Marka 14:71, natchnienie, Piotr, zaparcie się
Jeśli chcesz być pod wrażeniem, przeczytaj historię Dietera Denglera, jednego z zaledwie trzydziestu trzech jeńców wojennych, którzy uciekli podczas wojny w Wietnamie. Gwarantuję, że pomyślisz lub nawet powiesz: „Nigdy nie mógłbym zrobić tego, co on”. Jego historia jest legendą, szczególnie wśród tych, którzy służyli w wojsku. Dengler dorastał w Niemczech podczas II wojny światowej i

The Sinner Saint 

March 3, 2025 by Kathryn Wright in Blog - 1 Tim 1:15, Jas 4:7-8, Jas 5:19-20, saint, Sin, sinner
A few years ago, I had the opportunity to teach a course on soteriology (doctrine of salvation) in Zambia. During one of the discussions, I learned that the students’ definition of sinner was causing some confusion. Most of the students came from an Arminian perspective, meaning that they believed in losing salvation if they fell

第五福音书

March 3, 2025 by Kathryn Wright in 聚焦恩典 - 《以赛亚书》40章, 以赛亚, 好消息, 福音
大多数人都听说过四福音书——《马太福音》、《马可福音》、《路加福音》和《约翰福音》。但你是否知道,许多圣经学者将《以赛亚书》称为“第五福音书”?这个昵称的由来有多种原因。 与《马太福音》、《马可福音》、《路加福音》和《约翰福音》一样,《以赛亚书》也讲述了基督的生平。祂的第一次降临、死亡和第二次降临都在书中被预言。它为即将到来的救主描绘了一幅相当全面的图景。从这个角度来看,“第五福音书”这一别称是贴切的。 由于对基督生平的强调,加上这个别称,《以赛亚书》的目的常常被视为传福音。例如,哲罗姆(Jerome)曾说,先知以赛亚是一位传福音者,因为他描述了基督的奥秘。人们通常认为,《以赛亚书》中的“好消息”或“福音”指的是通过基督得永生的救恩。 然而,这种对《以赛亚书》的应用存在许多问题。首先,《以赛亚书》是写给以色列民族的,他们是上帝的选民,其中包括信徒和非信徒(1:1-3,40:1)。书的前半部分(1-39章)主要涉及暂时的审判。由于犹大的悖逆,上帝允许亚述人,后来是巴比伦人,压迫并将这个民族掳去。以赛亚所传讲的信息是审判,而不是因信称义的永生。这是这个民族不愿听的信息,他们心硬(6:9-10),导致圣殿被巴比伦人毁坏,并经历了七十年的被掳。 然而,从第40章开始,信息发生了转变,宣告了好消息。但这好消息是什么呢?以赛亚写道: 9报好信息给锡安的阿、你要登高山‧报好信息给耶路撒冷的阿、你要极力扬声‧扬声不要惧怕、对犹大的城邑说、看哪、你们的神。 10主耶和华必像大能者临到、他的膀臂必为他掌权‧他的赏赐在他那里、他的报应在他面前。 11他必像牧人牧养自己的羊群、用膀臂聚集羊羔抱在怀中、慢慢引导那乳养小羊的。(《以赛亚书》40:9-11) 先知告诉以色列人要传扬这好消息,或福音。当第40章开始时,以色列民族正在巴比伦。在这里,先知向这个民族传达了安慰的话语(第1节),即上帝会将他们从巴比伦聚集回来。在被掳七十年后,上帝不会丢弃他们(41:8-9)。上帝将伸出膀臂拯救他们,首先是从巴比伦,如书的后半部分所描述的,最终,通过即将到来的弥赛亚的统治。因此,《以赛亚书》中的救恩是以色列余民的集体的和身体上的拯救,首先是从巴比伦,后来是在大灾难期间。 “第五福音书”确实讲述了好消息。它讲述了一位即将到来的君王的好消息。这位君王将首先通过童女出生,然后受苦并死亡。然而,《以赛亚书》的好消息超越了主的第一次降临,因为它也展望了祂的第二次降临,那时祂将带来一个公义的国度。这位君王将把以色列民族从压迫者手中拯救出来。祂也将复兴以色列,使她成为一个公义的国度。这就是“第五福音书”中所说的救赎和好消息。然而,如果读者试图在《以赛亚书》中找到因信称义的永生信息,他会发现这并不容易。《以赛亚书》有好消息要分享,但不是为不信的人。 为什么这很重要? 《以赛亚书》是一本关于罪、悔改和行为的书。上帝因以色列的失败而责备这个民族。以赛亚呼吁这个民族离弃罪恶,以便从上帝的愤怒中被拯救出来。这种愤怒将在外邦人的入侵中显现。因此,如果一个人将这本书视为传福音的书,他可能会在救恩信息中加入行为,这是危险的。 此外,这还影响我们如何解释某些《新约》经文,例如施洗约翰的事工。正如以赛亚呼吁这个民族通过悔改进而从上帝的管教中被拯救一样,约翰也呼吁这个民族离弃罪恶,为基督的事工做准备。如果他们这样做,他们将免于耶路撒冷的毁灭。遗憾的是,以赛亚和约翰都被忽视了,这个民族先是被巴比伦人分散,然后在公元70年被罗马人分散。然而,《以赛亚书》的好消息仍然真实。上帝并没有丢弃这个民族,有一天祂将再次回来聚集祂的子民。

What on Earth Is God Doing? Psalm 110

March 1, 2025 by GES Webmaster in Grace in Focus Articles
By Geoff Stevens Another school shooting. This time a Christian school. Many people are asking where God was. Why doesn’t God do something about all the tragedy in the world? Doesn’t He care? Psalm 110 answers this question. Surprisingly, King David was invited to hear God the Father conversing with the Son, which is so

Keep Grace in Focus at Christmas

I recently came across a rather disturbing bit of folklore: The Icelandic Yule Lads (Jólasveinar). It’s a 17th-century tale of thirteen figures, or lads, each representing a different threat, who arrive on the days leading up to Christmas. One is called Spoon-Licker. He represents the...
